Bushfire Management Plan v1                                                    NCES REF: J000953
Lot 189 on MCH1261 – 64 Reserve St, Pomona




6    CONCLUSIONS

This Bushfire Management Plan has been prepared to assess and manage the degree of
potential bushfire risk acting on the proposed new dwelling for Lot 189 on MCH1261, located
at 64 Reserve Street, Pomona.
A bushfire risk assessment has identified that the vegetation about the site exposes the
proposed dwelling to significant risk of ember, radiant heat and direct flame impact in the
absence of additional clearing being provided. The identified risk has been reduced to an
acceptable-tolerable level where all recommendations set herein are adopted (i.e. APZ’s).
Overall, the development proposed for the site, in combination with recommendations
referenced herein, is deemed suitable with respect to providing a reasonable level of
protection for people and property within the site.
Bushfire is an extremely serious and often unpredictable phenomenon that requires serious
preparatory planning and decision making to avoid potential damage to infrastructure and or
loss of life. All recommendations made herein have been formulated based on site conditions
at the time of writing and therefore may not be appropriate in the event site conditions change
over time.
Implementation of the bushfire mitigation measures referenced herein is not implied nor
intended to advocate that residents remain on the site during a bushfire event nor that people
and property will be protected from bushfire impact. The measures are intended to reduce
the potential severity of bushfire impact to persons and property and not prevent actual
bushfire impact.
The landowners and site managers are to be responsible for ensuring the measures
prescribed herein are applied and stay up to date with site conditions and industry standards.
Landholders/managers should therefore liaise with Queensland Fire and Rescue Services at
regular intervals (e.g. recommended at least every 5 years).
The first call in the event of a bushfire emergency should always be ‘000’.
